This raises yet another interesting question that I've encountered over the
last few weeks.
My last three interviews have been for permanent, full time positions. I've
been a contractor for 10 years.
When recruiters contact me, they spend most of the conversation reminding me
that the position in question is a full time position, and the rest of the
conversation verifying that I want a full time position.
One recruiter gave me last minute advice saying that I shouldn't focus too
much on my skills, but rather that I'm truly committed to working for the
company on a permanent basis.
To date I've tried to respond honestly by saying that a permanent position
is what I want now that I have a mortgage, etc. And also that I'm tired of
getting up to speed with very interesting companies, only to have the
contract end.
